On today's Alley Oop - 16 October 2020

 If I was beginning to think that I am starting to tune into Joey's thought process, she sure threw me a curveball today. I guess they can change the future unless they can't change the future. That's about all I can get out of the the nonsense spewed by the Oracle. Look, Joey, it's either you can change the future or you can't. It just can't be both and more likely it is the latter because events are interrelated so that if you change one teeny, tiny event, it will change an untold number of other future events. The Three Stooges have destroyed Junior's device so that a 1,200 year cultural void has been destroyed. Even if you wrongly define culture as just "art", think of how many books, movies, videos, songs, etc. would be created in that timeline that otherwise wouldn't have been. And think of the different ways of presenting that output - ways that we cannot even imagine - would be created during this epoch. It just would be impossible to make this significant change without having far reaching impacts on man's... um, culture.
